“···It’s hot.”

    My clothes were covered in sweat.

    I said I went along with it because it was a fantasy for the two of us, but I regret it because I didn’t have any extra clothes.

    Are you going to duel another knight while giving off this kind of smell?

    It is certain that he will be criticized for being a person with unkempt behavior.

    “How long will you be here?”

    “I can’t stay here forever. He said he plans to leave only after becoming a guardian knight.”

    ─Guardian knight.

    He is literally a knight who provides professional protection.

    okay. Once that is done, other knights and nobles will no longer be able to say anything to me.

    ” These days, swords and the like are no longer used, so the Guardian Knight is treated more like a body servant or arrow holder rather than someone who protects. ”

    “How bad would it be if you couldn’t keep it?”

    “From a national perspective, the biggest mistake you made was leaving that heavy crossbow in the palace and revealing it to the world. Guardian knights no longer have the same honor as before.”

    I was at a loss for words due to the reasonable sound.

    Because I know best that after the introduction of guns, the landscape of war changed and life became easier.

    “In a way, you may be reaping what you sow.”

    Lexi sighs, sits down on a bench in the garden and puts on her shoes.

    “Did you know I would end up like this?”

    Reck Carter, stretched out and covered in scars, returns to being Lexi.

    No matter how much time has passed, I don’t know how people can’t recognize the 100-year article.

    Isn’t Lexi a living legend who has been working on the wall for a full century?

    “···Is there anyone who recognizes me?”

    “If someone you haven’t seen in 17 years pretends not to know, most people leave.”

    …Well, I guess it’s the same for me.

    After washing my body cleanly with my body, I dried my body using the wind blown by Lexi’s power.

    It’s like an air conditioner.

    If you live with this person, you can have a cool summer, right?

    “I’ll go out first, so you two can come out later.”

    “I’ll be out soon.”

    Lexi walks out first.

    Anne ran to Isabelle’s side before she could scold me.

    Thanks to this, Shir and I were left alone for the first time in a long time.

    Shir, wondering what was good, was sitting on the bench where Lexi was sitting and kicking his feet in the air.

    If you just look at it, it is like a painting.

    ‘I can’t believe there can be such a fascinating and beautiful person.’

    As I sit next to that idiotic woman, I am filled with a desire to conquer and a sexual desire that cannot be expressed in words.

    After reading my thoughts, the corners of Shir’s mouth rise and the corners of his eyes slant like a crescent moon.

    “Still more…”

    “Wait.”

    ···There are people around.

    “Madam, I think we should go now.”

    side-

    I kissed him lightly on the cheek.

    When I extend my hand to Shir, small, long, craft-like fingers rest on my hand.

    I think I understand the situation to some extent.

    ‘Who is it?’

    If someone is watching closely, I can’t hide even with my power.

    This is because the power that is not visible to others simply makes one’s presence pale.

    “Let’s go.”

    How many steps did he take while holding hands with an incredibly beautiful woman?

    Kwaak-?!

    A short, deep scream rang out.

    “My sister noticed.”

    Shir smiles calmly and leans towards me.

    “How?”

    “That’s right, we’re always looking around you.”

    Kagagagagak!!!!

    An unknown sound is heard.

    And, the bloody wind that can be seen even from above the high maze garden.

    ─Spray blood traces.

    It is a blood trail that scatters when a person explodes or is shot.

    Spray blood stains, as if spray had been sprayed, and chunks of meat the size of half a little finger, are pouring out in all directions.

    ···Mercurius doesn’t like it when you use your power on a living person, so you kill him and grind up his body.

    It was like looking at a chunk of meat that had been ground up in a blender or meat grinder.

    “···Is it really necessary to do that?”

    Although Shir’s adorable face didn’t change at all, it was sensational for me as it was my first time seeing a person being ground up in a blender.

    “If you change everything, you won’t know who it is, right? And he’s an assassin. They say it seems like it came from revenge?”

    ─Revenge.

    These are the people who turned my advice back with a sword.

    Yesterday’s coming-of-age ceremony ended happily, but if it hadn’t been so, I would have gone and slaughtered him.

    “Can you please tell me to save just two people and bring them here?”

    * * * * * *

    There was a sphere.

    Laurie Street.

    “Long time no see. Are you here to give me the answer?”

    “You, what are you…?!”

    Her eyes were filled with fear as she witnessed people being torn apart.

    “You don’t know how embarrassed I was because of the prank you played there yesterday. But seeing you come back like this means you brought the answer, right?”

    My colleague was glaring at Rory Street with his eyes wide open.

    It seemed like it was kept confidential.

    “What did you say in revenge?”

    The fear in the center of Laurie Street’s eyes shows no sign of going away.

    I can’t communicate in this situation.

    “Shir, can you change back to your original form?”

    “Me? My makeup and hair are ruined?”

    “Please do me a favor.”

    Shir reluctantly nods and starts polymorphing.

    Even the assassin is staring at Shir in fascination.

    It seemed like he was in love with Shir.

    That doesn’t matter anyway, but he was uncooperative with me.

    ‘I’ve decided.’

    Let’s save Laurie Street and kill that guy.

    “This is my girl. Could you please stop staring at me like that?”

    Grab the guy’s face from behind as if covering his eyes…

    Wood-dud-dud-deuk!!!

    He turned his head like an owl so his eyes met my face.

    “Yes. Just look at me like that.”

    dump!

    “···What, what…?!”

    Before I knew it, Shir, with the appearance of a saint, was staring down Laurie Street.

    Laurie Street’s eyes are full of astonishment as she looks up at Shir.

    “Have you never heard of the white wolf?”

    A white hero who was worshiped by the white leader who attacked the cradle so that his descendants would never remember his mistakes.

    Laurie Street must have spent her childhood receiving that brainwashing.

    I was more entranced by Shir’s appearance than my colleague’s death, and I made a stupid face.

    “If you know who that person is, I think you will know who I am without me having to say it.”

    He looks at me in surprise, as if he’s forgotten I’m there.

    “What did you say in revenge?”

    “Sir, think with common sense! There is no way that a proposal from a dangerous and unknown person like you would be accepted───?!”

    Rory Street, filled with fear of death, spits out words and glares at me.

    Beneath the superficial spite, I can see a desire to please understand my situation and be kind to me.

    ‘Is it natural that you didn’t know my identity?’

    There is no need to rush.

    Hurrying in itself is a waste of time, and something only herbivores do.

    “Then what about now?”

    Laurie Street’s eyes become brighter.

    ‘I had hope.’

    okay. People should live in hope like that.

    The driving force of a person’s life comes from the anticipation of tomorrow.

    It makes me very happy to think that I have given hope to others.

    I smiled as I stroked the loli tree.

    “By now, you probably know why I had to hide my identity and what I was hoping for.”

    Laurie Street’s eyes were tense as she was reluctant to speak.

    Among them, I feel pressure in my eyes amidst all the arrogant emotions.

    When I stroked his head as if to comfort him, he became completely frightened.

    It’s because of Lexi and Shir’s jealousy.

    “Now, go back and send a message. We will take care of the body.”

    Why are you so scared?

    He looked at me intently and stood up slowly, like a hiker trying not to provoke a wild animal.

    “My identity is a top secret. If Boksu refuses my offer this time, I will personally wipe out every member of Boksu. So, if something goes wrong, run straight to your ancestral home. Or find Jemmy Drucker. I will treat you well.”

    “···Yes!”

    “I trust that Boksu will not do something foolish to turn us into enemies.”

    Kagagagagak!!!!

    The tooth where I broke my neck began to fall off from the top of my head.

    ─In an instant.

    There seems to be no way to recognize the assassin who was trapped in the blade of wind and lost his human form.

    The hair that looked like it had been mixed with food or something and the clothes that were torn off proved in a nutshell that this was a person.

    The piece of meat was compressed tightly in the air and flew across the sky.

    Then, there would be blood pouring out somewhere.

    ‘This is no way to treat the deceased.’

    I knew it as soon as I saw it.

    The fact that this is the beginning of the crushing type.

    “···Okay.”

    “Try to go.”

    Rory Street slowly takes a step back.

    Was it about ten steps like that?

    He quickly turned around and started running away like an animal, even using his hands.

    Why are you so scared even though you say you have no intention of harming anyone?

    “Please cheat on that woman.”

    “It’s already been attached.”

    Clap!

    A chunk of meat floating in the air is crushed like a hamburger thrown on a cutting board.

    Lexi, the creator of that terrible work of art, looked away without any agitation.

    ‘As expected, it was Lexi who needed treatment, not me.’

    “Shii, sur.”

    The magical eyes and gold eyes are looking at me.

    “I know it’s very difficult because you’re in such a high place.”

    I held the two women in my arms.

    “What about people’s emotions? Just like your body, you need to eat a variety of foods to be healthy. It means that you should receive both joy and sadness equally.”

    Hahahahahaha!

    But these two are so arrogant.

    Inability to fit in is a lack of emotion, and I know the solution best.

    “It’s been a long time since they were ruled by others, so they have no sympathy for the weak.”

    He sealed the powers of both of them, reduced them to a helpless woman, and held them in his arms.

    To the point of being crushed.

    “What…?!”

    “Sihyeon?!”

    Tduduk—! Tdu-duk-duk-duk!

    “Shir, the day I turned you into Amor, I made up my mind to take responsibility for your death in return for placing a curse on you.”

    “I saved you, and someday you will die by my hands. From your birth to your death, everything is mine.”

    He grabbed her delicate neck and broke her chin with his thumb.

    “······!”

    “Shir, I am not yours. You are mine.”

    Tdu-duk-duk–! Wood-dud-dud-duk─────!

    By exploding his power, he injected fear into his flesh.

    Shir trembles like a female. Shir was trembling.

    He then grabbed Lexi’s horns and broke her neck.

    “Shii, come to your senses too. Shir learns from you…”

    “······!”

    “Shir is an innocent and good kid, right? Set an example. Like a sister.”

    Tduduk—!

    “You must not be mistaken. Shii is mine. It’s not that I am poetry.”

    He chewed on Lexi’s ear and breathed on it.

    Seeing him tremble and scared makes me sadistic.

    ─But that’s it.

    “···I love you both so much.”

    He lightly stroked them as if comforting them.

    Lexi, who was weighed down by my power, couldn’t even speak and was trembling.

    “These two are people who stand above, are strong, and are idols. Society learns by looking at the backs of the two.”

    “But will you use it if you act like a scared stag?”

    “If you stand above people, you must be bold like an ancient dragon that controls nature.”

    “You both behave well.”

    “And be prepared when you come next month. Because I will stuff respect into both of your holes until they break open like a rag.”

    He returned the authority and patted them both.

    The two were still as frozen as ice.

    “···Don’t forget what you felt right now. That’s how the weak see the world.”

    A ray of sweet female scent tickled my nose.

    Laughter flowed. It looks like he wants to be eaten like a dog by a black-haired beast.

    “And since what I just said was sincere, I look forward to it next month.”

    * * * * * *

    An apprentice engineer is also a knight.

    The reason I went through a 6-month training program was to gain practical experience, and there was no one who could ignore my practical experience.

    However, there are only a few people who look at me with disdain.

    for example···.

    “···A commoner and a foreigner?”

    Knights who were born noble.

    “Yes.”

    “Ha! This is ridiculous. How did someone like you set foot in the palace…!”

    This knight, who appeared to be one of the Royal Knights, was anxious to catch me.

    ‘It’s not worth talking about.’

    The bracket was quite artificial.

    More than thirty members of the Royal Knights asked me to spar.

    Isabel was observing the sparring with anxious eyes.

    But why do I have to defeat everything from the beginning like I’m defeating a game boss?

    “Isn’t the bracket strange?”

    “The election of a guardian knight is originally done without a duel. Everyone on this list is someone who doubts your skills.”

    The assistant referee answers in a business-like manner, stands up the shirt, taps it on the table, and arranges it neatly.

    ‘···Thirty people?’

    No matter how much it breaks the tradition of the Royal Knights, isn’t this too ugly?

    Moreover, the other person is a human being. Those who want to compete with me are all Terup and Hosot.

    This is no different from a fight between a woman and a man.

    Plus, I don’t have any armor.

    As there was someone wearing all kinds of protective gear and holding a sword standing in front of me, I couldn’t help but wrinkle Shir’s eyebrows.

    The same was true for Lexi, who was watching from hiding.

    However, they were all wearing swords.

    ‘These guys don’t even know the basics.’

    No matter how much the sword has lost its practicality, would you raise it against a halberd?

    I entered the scorching sun.

    I saw Isabelle and Edward sitting high up in the shadows, looking this way.

    Isabel’s gaze shows concern, and Edward’s gaze shows interest.

    “Article. Where is the armor?”

    Armor?

    “It was broken so I couldn’t wear it.”

    The eyes of the person who appeared to be the referee narrowed.

    “It is a competition with weapons. Are you aware that you could get seriously hurt without armor?”

    ” I was aware of it and took it into consideration before leaving.”

    So let’s just do it.

    Because I know you all think it would be better if I died anyway.

    The referee caught my gaze and reluctantly nods.

    “Everyone here heard that. Don’t regret it later.”

    The referee steps back.

    In a place like a rectangular fence with nothing in it, only my opponent is glaring at me like he’s burning.

    But it’s just anger that comes from simple self-suggestion. There is no hatred towards me.

    He held the long end of the halberd and draped it over his shoulder.

    The knight also approaches me.

    “Thank you very much.”

    There is no answer. Got eaten by the method.

    He grabbed the halberd with both hands, raised it to the side, and struck it down.

    The knight brings down the halberd with his sword.

    Kwaaang—!

    But the results were disastrous.

    The knight was unable to withstand the blow and flew away.

    Is this what it feels like to be a movie star hitting a stuntman?

    “Kuhak······?!”

    The knight, who couldn’t even scream when he was hit, lets out a groan full of pain only after falling asleep.

    Since I’m wearing armor, there won’t be any fractures. The armor needs to be repaired, though.

    The two royal families who knew my identity kept their mouths shut, but the referee could not close his mouth.

    “If you swing like this 30 times, someone unlucky will definitely meet death today.”

    The words were filled with power.

    My small voice reciting evenly will vividly pierce their ears.

    Among the demi-humans, a man known to be capable of competing on an equal level with an ogre is staring down at me.

    “Now let’s not do foolish things like duel with weapons we don’t use.”

    “Do not try to deny the traditions of the Habstenburg family as you please.”

    “Not practical.”

    “Guardian knight is not a position that considers practicality.”

    So are you saying we should make more action movies?

    ‘What is this?’

    Will anyone come to their senses by leaving Maal’s side in this childish drama?

    If you want that, you can respond.

    “Instead of talking nonsense, how about you join me?”

    “I am not your opponent.”

    He is a very blunt person.

    The next opponent opens the wooden door and comes in.

    ‘···Shall I see blood?’

    Someone really dies. In that case, it might be better to cause fear by causing blood.

    As expected, the male Terup who came in contact with me was carrying a dagger.

    It is light, and the arms are placed on the ground.

    ‘You have your bearings.’

    You have military experience.

    The guy smiles confidently.

    It’s a shame, but I’ve been a famous killer since you were on active duty.

    “Start!”

    He raised his halberd high and walked towards Terup.

    Terup, who saw with his own eyes that I possessed tremendous strength, walked around me with cautious steps.

    Continue.

    ─Because there are no gaps.

    He looked directly into my eyes and was scared.

    I looked straight into those eyes and took a long stride forward, cornering Terup.

    “Profit?!”

    As he exited the corner, he swung his halberd as if sweeping the yard and threw it at the fleeing Terup.

    Booo!!!

    A chunk of iron over 20 bounds flies toward Terup with a dull thumping sound.

    “Augh──?!!”

    Terup freaks out and runs again to avoid the halberd making a large circle.

    And as I was running towards that place, he swung his sword at me.

    ‘Which arm should I swing the machete with?’

    Right arm? Left arm?

    I try to mix the herbs, but they are clearly visible.

    No matter what moves the other person is making, if they have that kind of mindset, it’s just an opportunity for me.

    I approached without hesitation.

    The guy swings his sword diagonally with his left hand.

    Dodge to the right with the sword in your right hand, and dodge to the left with the sword in your left hand.

    This was the basics that Juul taught me.

    I dodged by twisting my body to the left and hit the embarrassed guy on the head.

    Byak!!!

    The chin strap of the helmet was torn and the helmet flew away.

    Terup falls to the side and stumbles, looking at me in disbelief.

    ‘It’s a concussion.’

    The referee’s eyes were full of surprise and irritation as he stood still and looked at us indifferently.

    You seem annoyed with me. Does it look as if I’m the one who imposed the rules?

    ‘I heard you said it was short?’

    Do you think the other person cares about your situation?

    “Article. Can you continue?”

    “···Yes.”

    I picked up the halberd.

    Why are you doing this useless thing?

    I feel like I’m playing like a clown, so I get irritated.

    “One person is not enough. Please send two people at a time.”

    ─It was a qualitative problem.

    It was 15 years ago that the sword entered the battlefield.

    However, I was taught by two people who were the strongest when the sword ruled the era.

    If the difference in strength is such that it is impossible to parry the opponent’s attack in the first place or to disable the weapon by holding the spear, the sword will never be able to defeat the long weapon.

    This is a mathematical result.

    Since I couldn’t lose, I treated them roughly, and eventually broke everyone’s armor.

    Bye!!!!

    The boiled leather armor hit by the side of the halberd is torn apart.

    The referee raises his hand towards me and approaches the knight.

    Eventually, he stood up and looked at me as if he was uncomfortable…

    “Winner, Dwin Lee.”

    The decision has been made.
